A Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M)-led Left Front government headed by Chief Minister Manik Sarkar is to assume office for the fourth consecutive term on Monday.
Governor Dinesh Nandan Sahaya would administer the oath of office and secrecy to the 59-year-old Marxist leader and his council of ministers at a function at the Raj Bhavan in Agartala, an official said.
"Sarkar resigned on Friday night and I have asked him to continue in office till the alternative arrangement was made," Sahaya told IANS.
CPI-M-led Left Front on Friday pulled off an emphatic victory for a fourth consecutive term, winning 49 seats in the 60-member legislature and routing the main opposition Congress, which secured only 10 seats while. Its poll partner Indigenous Nationalist Party of Tripura (INPT) bagged only one seat.
In the previous assembly election in 2003, the Left Front won in 41 seats followed by the Congress with 13 and its ally INPT with six.
The Left Front has been in power in Tripura since 1978, barring one term (1988-1993).
